In the midst of a presidential term, assessing the extent of its impact is challenging. Donald Trump’s second presidency appears to have brought significant changes in areas like trade, immigration, and culture. However, these changes have largely been implemented through unilateral executive actions rather than through legislative processes.
Historically transformative presidencies are characterized by enduring achievements. Given the nature of Trump’s approach, much of his populist agenda remains susceptible to reversal if Democrats regain control of the White House. This potential for change compels institutions such as universities to consider the implications of future Republican administrations.
